Testimonials

"As a kindergarten teacher, and parent, I have been impressed with the warmth and respect Ainslie has shown all of her students. By creating a nurturing environment my children have taken steps to enhance their musical skills and in doing so I have watched them grow in confidence. Our lives have been enriched by the Little Stars syllabus and I take pure delight in observing their spontaneous singing, dancing or playing out what they've learnt. Many thanks", Natalie Caughey

"Ainslie is an enthusiatic, inspiring teacher committed to Suzuki philosophy. Her enthusiasm spreads like wildfire through the children who learn so much more than music in her classes. Ainslie has guided my eldest through 2 years of Early Music Education and both of my children continue to love learning through Little Stars. Her work with the children is truly magical” Jen, Little Stars Parent
